Watching the carriage depart, a glint flashed in Jiang Wanyou's eyes. The reason she had let A Ying leave first was precisely so as not to draw anyone's notice. After all, if the carriage remained parked outside, it might easily attract attention.
With that, she gently pushed open the door.
At this moment, Jiang Wanyou wore a smile, delighted at the thought that Uncle Xiu would surely gain an excellent disciple.
Yet the moment she entered, she found the Healing Clinic completely empty. Just as she was puzzled and about to call out, a cold, low voice suddenly came from outside.
"Xiu Hanzhi, you can't escape."
The words crashed viciously in from outside. Jiang Wanyou's eyes flew wide open—she recognized that voice as Duanmu Chun's.
She had followed Yao Yulou and met Duanmu Chun more than once before. She knew him all too well.
What threw her into even greater panic was that Uncle Xiu had been discovered—Duanmu Chun had discovered his identity. And now she was inside Uncle Xiu's clinic. What was she supposed to do?
The moment Duanmu Chun charged in, her identity would be exposed. That would harm Yulou and Mei Xi. What could she do?
Of course, she could claim she was here for treatment—but would Duanmu Chun believe her?
"Xiu Hanzhi, could it be that you're not inside the clinic? But I can sense someone in there. I'd like to see exactly who it is." Duanmu Chun continued with a cold sneer. Heavy footsteps soon sounded outside the clinic.
Jiang Wanyou was panicking beyond measure...
Just then... whoosh.
A figure suddenly landed on the balcony of the small clinic. It was Old Xiu, his face deathly pale. At the same instant, Duanmu Chun's footsteps outside came to a halt, allowing Jiang Wanyou to calm down
